Twitter user @FennerMichelle said she was sitting in a plane “waiting for computers to come back” when the airline replied with news of a stoppage. “We have had to implement a ground stop as a result of intermittent issues that were experienced, and we should hopefully be resuming our operation as soon as possible,” a company employee wrote in reply. “I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we’ll be here for you if you need any assistance.”
